- Sometimes, students checked out devices/chargers for the day because they did not have the device/charger checked out to them. If these devices/chargers were not returned at the end of the day, they are still checked out to them, and they are responsible for them.
Q: Will my child get a device next school year?
- Currently the plan is for all secondary students to be issued a device next school year.
